Why Do I have White Spots on My Teeth?

Posted on 29 July 2021

White spots or streaks on your teeth can be caused by overexposure to fluoride as a child. This condition is called dental fluorosis and can be treated by your dentist to help reduce the impact on your smile.

Key takeaways:

• Dental fluorosis is due to too much fluoride in a child’s dental products or their diet.
• White spots from dental fluorosis are permanent, but they are not harmful to your oral health.
• Treatments including tooth whitening, dental bonding and veneers can make white spots less noticeable.

"Children under the age of six generally shouldn’t use mouth rinses that contain fluoride, and your dentist can advise you on the right type of toothpaste for your child to avoid both cavities and dental fluorosis."
